Hexes and Demons

Post by ruth1998 »

That interview of Stina said those drawings on the cover and inside the cd book were hexes and demons. Does anyone know what kind of hexes they are or anything like that? I need to know. (I need to know. Tell my baby girl cuz i need to know..)

They're illustrations by John Dee, an astrologist and alchemist.
I guess they're meant to illustrate the books he wrote.

I really like the cover of The World Is Saved. It has a certain mystery over it. The same goes for This Is Stina Nordenstam. That's my favourite Stina coverphotograph.

The World Is Saved cover art

Post by pinecones »

Great topic. I joined the board just now to ask this exact question about the cover art!

I don't know much about the direction behind Stina's music - I've had PAS for a while, and just started listening to TWIS. So I'd like to ask a further question about the choice of art. What is the meaning behind the choice of cover art (the John Dee illustrations)? How does it connect to the album content, or to the thoughts of Stina?

Thanks,
